Both are hotly tipped and have huge money riding on them to win the race with Frankel just edging into the position of favourite.

However, Canford Cliffs’ Jockey Richard Hughes this week went on record to say that the horse had ‘never let me down’. The trainer of the reigning champion, Richard Hannon, is aiming to make the horse the 1st horse in the Races’ history to regain to the title.

Hannon said he felt ‘Course experience’ would be crucial in Canford Cliffs’ victory and pointed to Frankel’s weaker performances in some recent races although he has still gone on to win.

However, despite massive odds, maybe outsiders Dick Turpin and Rio De La Plata may have something to say about the outcome of the race. Although both running with massively long odds, it is not unheard of. The last time the field was even nearly this small was in 1972, when only 3 ran due to another 2 horse race emerging. However, neither High-Top or Sparkler could manage victory and Sallust galloped to a hugely surprising.

Whether you want to back Canford Cliffs or Frankel, or if you’re bravely going for an outsider, make sure you get the best odds with betinternet.com.

We will be offering ‘Best Odds Guaranteed’ and 1/4 the odds on all Royal Ascot races and that’s not all…

The longest Group 1 race in Britain takes place on Thursday, Ladies’ Day, as the stayers will be hoping to claim the famous Ascot Gold Cup, which is staged over 2m4f. Yeats is the only racehorse to have won the Ascot Gold Cup over four consecutive years – 2006 -2009 and is yet to be matched by another horse. On Friday, the top fillies compete over Ascot’s round mile in the Coronation Stakes. Then finally on Saturday, we have the Golden Jubilee Stakes, the Hardwicke Stakes and the Wokingham Stakes.
